Our nearest neighbours - UV CETI
Our nearest neighbours - UV CETI
Luyten 726-8 AB or UV CETI is the sixth closest system to Sol located only about 8.7 light-years away in the southwestern part (01 39 01.3 -17 57 01) of Cetus, the Whale. UV Ceti is an extreme example of a flare star - that is one that can boost its brightness by a factor of five in less than a minute! http://www.martin-nicholson.info/close/closestars.htm Martin Nicholson, Daventry, England. http://www.martin-nicholson.info/1/1a.htm Visit the Astronomical Hall of Shame at http://www.geocities.com/queen5658/ |
